]]> Comment on raspbmc – XBMC on Raspberry Pi by Dave http://www.louishoughton.com/2012/09/01/raspbmc-xbmc-on-raspberry-pi/#comment-205 Dave Wed, 06 Feb 2013 23:04:38 +0000 http://www.louishoughton.com/?p=450#comment-205 I'm not too techie but have a Raspberry Pi which I'm desperate to do something with. I have a buffalo link station duo with all my media on it, but for some reason it struggles when trying to watch movies etc through my Sony Bravia TV - it takes ages to find the files, then it wont play them or sometimes the files appear and sometimes they don't. And don't get me started on my iPad/iPhone, I can't these to connect to it at all even with the Buffalo apps - it never seems to want to connect even when it does see the media server it takes an eternity to find the files if at all. It does however seem to work fine through my PS3 so I know it can work. I was thinking of using the Pi to act as a link to my media server and TV (and iPhone/iPad if possible) rather than having to leave the PS3 on all of the time which seems to overheat sometimes. Pls can you point me in the direction of some help on how to set this up? Thx I’m not too techie but have a Raspberry Pi which I’m desperate to do something with.

I had no idea about the TV remote tweaks, so I might try that. Of course, it makes perfect sense that everything is configurable :) I settled on raspbmc as well although I do check out openELEC on a spare SD card.

I was interested to find out if you are local to Wolverton and interested in the E-Car scheme? Can you drop me an email or give me a call 07813 780 125. It would be good to have a chat. All the best, H x Helen Wright. Hi Louis, I’m helping E-Car and follow up Future Energy Show in Wolverton on Saturday 20 October.

]]> Comment on Voting in the Local Elections by Nick http://www.louishoughton.com/2012/05/03/voting-in-the-local-elections/#comment-48 Nick Tue, 05 Jun 2012 17:00:25 +0000 http://www.louishoughton.com/?p=423#comment-48 It's my first time voting today and I have no idea who any of these people are besides one or two of them. Aside from their own websites where they can say whatever they want without having to back it up with actual evidence, it's like they don't exist. Kind of scary when you consider that people just vote along their own party lines without knowing anything about the actual candidates.

But yeah, it is annoying that the power button stops working. I haven't found a way to fix it. I usually just use the Suspend button in Boxee.
